Chapter Eighty-Five: My Cousin Is Like My Father's Daughter
Jiang Qinyue is in the prime of her life, with a good face and a delicate figure, and she is literate in the Guogong Mansion, and she cannot be said to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least among girls of the same age, she is very good, especially good at writing poetry. These all make her temperament more elegant, and between one line and one movement, her demeanor has begun to appear.
She walked up to Tang Yanning, looked into the courtyard of the study, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, my cousin came back, and I couldn't go to Chunhui Hall to see you because my mother was sick. But you went out again early this morning. Is everything okay with my aunt in the other courtyard? ”
"Mother is fine." Facing Jiang Qinyue's smiling face, Tang Yanning was a little vigilant in her heart. I haven't seen him for a few days, how can I feel like Jiang Qinyue is a different person? There is no longer the frivolity of the previous courtyard wall, and there is more calm and stability.
Could it be that he mocked her too much that time, and told her to change?
No.
With her understanding of Jiang Qinyue, she is a person with a firm heart, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal.
Thinking of this, Tang Yanning raised a smile and also greeted Jiang Qinyue's mother: "But when I came back, I heard that my cousin was unwell and had been bedridden for some days?" I just told my father that the doctor outside is not as good as the doctor, so it is better to take the post and ask the doctor to treat my cousin. ”
Jiang Qinyue's eyebrows jumped, and she hurriedly said, "This is my cousin's kindness." It's just that, where is the best place to ask for a doctor? If we have a headache and brain fever, we will go to the doctor and ask outsiders to call it arrogant. ”
Tang Yanning sneered and laughed, "My cousin seems to be my father's own daughter, and his old man just said the same." ”
Hearing her say the words "father's daughter", Jiang Qinyue's face changed in an instant. She looked at Tang Yanning a little hastily, and was suspicious in her heart - could it be that Tang Yanning knew something?
She stared at Tang Yanning, trying to find the answer from those eyes as clear as spring water, but in vain she found that Tang Yanning's eyes were as clear as water and as bright as stars, and they were frank and unstained with half impurities.
Jiang Qinyue relaxed slightly. Perhaps, it's just a joke, right?
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" Quietly watching Jiang Qinyue almost lose her mind when she was shocked by her words, Tang Yanning patted Jiang Qinyue's shoulder with concern.
Coming back to her senses, Jiang Qinyue reluctantly smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that when I saw you and Cousin Rong coming back, I was distracted with joy for a while." ”
Because of the joy that went away...... This reason is the first time Tang Yanning has heard of it.
But she didn't poke it, just smiled, "Looking at my cousin's depressed appearance, I thought you were taking care of your cousin too much." ”
What a ghost!
Jiang Qinyue secretly scolded Tang Yanning in her heart. Her mother is pregnant or not sick, she is too late to be happy, how can she lose her soul?
"My cousin is serious, and my mother is fine. I'm just afraid that she will be bored, so I will talk more with her, and I won't be tired. Hiding the urge to tear apart Tang Yanning's brilliant face, Jiang Qinyue forced a smile, "I boiled the soup with my own hands to cool off the heat and nourish the qi, and I was about to give it to my uncle." Do you want my cousin to go in with you? ”
Tang Yanning turned her head to look at the study and said in surprise: "My father has never allowed us to enter the study, but I didn't expect my cousin to be different." Forget it, I'm not going in. Otherwise, my father will scold me again, you are not as sensible and considerate as your cousin. ”
After that, he got out of the way, "He's in the study, cousin, you can send it over." ”
"Okay, then I'll go and give the summer soup to my uncle first, and then I'll go back to Linlangyuan to talk to you." Jiang Qinyue bowed slightly to Tang Yanning, and entered the study dignified with the summer soup.
"Girl, girl!" Gu Yu's eyes were sharp, and he ran to Tang Yanning's side, "She didn't knock on the door!" ”
I went into the study with such a loud bang!
Staring at the carved door, Gu Yu's eyes were about to pop out.
This is the outer study, a realm that even the prince and their girls can't enter on weekdays!
The cousin went in so easily, unhindered?
Why?!
Gu Yu pointed to the door and looked at Tang Yanning, his head shaking left and right.
Tang Yanning pressed her hand on her head, "Okay, don't shake it." It's not smart in the first place, and it's even more stupid to dangle it again. ”
"Girl......" Gu Yu couldn't laugh angrily, "Who am I anxious for!" ”
"For me, all for me!" Holding Gu Yu's hand, Tang Yanning sighed, "Sister Gu Yu is loyal, I have seen it." Go back, it's not a day yet. ”
Together with the frost, he dragged Gu Yu, who was still jumping, back to Linlang Garden.
Here, Jiang Qinyue entered the study and saw Tang Guocheng sitting behind the bookcase. There was no one else but him.
"Uncle." Jiang Qinyue put the tray on the bookcase, picked up the summer soup with both hands and handed it to Tang Guogong, "I cooked lily white fungus soup for my mother, and I cooked a little more, and my mother asked me to give it to my uncle to taste." ”
"There are so many people in the house, why do you need to do it yourself?" Looking at Jiang Qinyue, who was like a willow flower, Tang Guogong always had a special pity. This is his daughter, the daughter he has cultivated with his heart since childhood, and the daughter he has great expectations for.
Taking the soup cup in front of him, Tang Guogong patted Jiang Qinyue's hand, "I've worked hard for you these past few days." ”
Jiang Qinyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Where are you talking about this?" It is the duty of children to take care of their mothers. I was idle all day long, reading a book to my mother, stroking a piano, and relieving her of bedriddenness. ”
In all fairness, with such an understanding daughter, compared with Tang Yanning's sharp-toothed and mean appearance, no matter who he is, he will also have a preference.
Tang Guogong touched his conscience, and still felt that a daughter like Jiang Qinyue was more in line with his heart.
"Didn't you say a long time ago, when no one is around, you call my father!" Taking the soup cup offered by Jiang Qinyue, Tang Guogong took a sip, which was sweet and moist.
Jiang Qinyue lowered her head and did not hide her loneliness.
"I know the love you have for me. It's just that if I'm in my mother's room, I'll just scream. This is the outer study, and it is not good to be heard. ”
In the end, there was a trembling cry in his voice.
She immediately turned around and pretended to sort out the books on the shelves.
Tang Guogong sighed, put the lily soup on the bookcase, walked behind Jiang Qinyue, held her shoulder, told her to look at herself, and said gently, "Yue'er, you have always been a sensible child. Your mother and I have high expectations for you. Because of this, there are many things that I can't help myself. But Yue'er, don't worry, one day, I will let you be a girl in my country's mansion with dignity. ”
In this way, Jiang Qinyue has heard it since she was a child. To be honest, when she was young, she was still able to believe and look forward to it. But as soon as she said this, it has been more than ten years, and she and her queen are still a cousin girl living in the mansion of the country, and there is no change in her identity.
Even if the old lady and Tang Guogong are loved, what about it? In the mouths of those subordinates, she was always a cousin.
Even if her mother can enter the house by virtue of her pregnancy, what can she do? In the eyes of outsiders, she has always been surnamed Jiang and not Tang.
Jiang Qinyue could almost imagine that even if Tang Guogong kept his promise and officially took their mother and daughter into the Guogong Mansion, she could only be the daughter of her deceased husband brought by her mother.
Otherwise, let him know that he is his biological daughter, where is the face of the Guogong Mansion?
Jiang Qinyue raised her eyes, her eyes were full of admiration, but her heart was graceful and disdainful, and she snorted.
